Suffering a serious injury due to someone else’s negligence can be a life-altering experience. Beyond the physical pain and emotional trauma, victims often face overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and disrupted lives. During this challenging time, having a skilled personal injury attorney can make the critical difference between struggling financially and securing the compensation needed for recovery and stability.
Our personal injury lawyers are dedicated to representing clients throughout the region, leveraging our local presence and knowledge to help those harmed by someone else’s negligence.
At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, our personal injury attorneys bring decades of experience to each case, combining legal knowledge with compassionate client service. We understand how to effectively handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including the following:
Collisions involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians account for many of the serious injuries in New Jersey. These car accident cases often result from driver negligence, including distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and failure to follow traffic laws. Our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience investigating these incidents, identifying all potentially liable parties, and building compelling cases for maximum compensation.
Sharing the road with trucks is an everyday occurrence for New Jersey drivers, but when a truck driver, truck company, or other party neglects their responsibilities and causes an accident, the consequences can be life-altering. If you suffered injuries in a truck accident due to someone else’s negligence, getting a lawyer’s help allows you to focus on recovery without the weight of the legal process and dealing with insurance companies on your shoulders.
Property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe visitor conditions. When they fail in this duty, serious injuries can result. Examples include: slip and fall accidents due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate maintenance, inadequate security leading to assaults or other criminal activity, swimming pool accidents and drownings, elevator and escalator malfunctions, building code violations causing structural failures, and fires resulting from negligent maintenance or safety practices. We thoroughly investigate these cases to identify dangerous conditions, establish notice to the property owner, and demonstrate how proper maintenance or security measures could have prevented your injuries. In some cases, a school district may be held liable for student injuries occurring due to unsafe premises or lack of supervision.
A routine trip to the grocery store, a restaurant, or work shouldn’t end in serious injury. But a slick floor, uneven pavement, or a falling object can turn an ordinary day into a nightmare—leaving you with medical bills, lost wages, and a long road to recovery. If a property owner, business, your employer, or another party caused your injuries, you have the right to file a claim and pursue compensation with the help of our experienced lawyers at Mandelbaum Barrett PC.
Construction sites present numerous hazards, from falls from heights to struck-by accidents, electrical incidents, and machinery malfunctions. Our attorneys understand the complex web of contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment suppliers whose negligence may contribute to these accidents. We identify all responsible parties to maximize recovery while navigating the interplay between workers’ compensation claims and third-party liability claims.
While workers’ compensation provides benefits for most on-the-job injuries regardless of fault, these benefits are often insufficient to cover the full impact of serious injuries. In certain circumstances, injured workers may have additional claims against third parties whose negligence contributed to workplace accidents, such as manufacturers, contractors, property owners, or drivers. A workers’ compensation claim covers injuries occurring in the workplace, but you may also have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit if someone other than your employer was responsible for your injuries.
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers must ensure the products they create and sell are reasonably safe when used as intended. When defective products cause injury, we hold these companies accountable through product liability claims. These cases often require extensive technical knowledge and professional testimony, which our experienced attorneys coordinate to build compelling claims against even the largest corporate defendants.
When you place your elderly family members in nursing homes, you rightfully expect these facilities to provide professional care, dignity, and respect. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect remain serious problems in New Jersey and across the country. These vulnerable residents may suffer physical injuries, emotional trauma, financial exploitation, or neglect at the hands of those entrusted with their care. When such abuse occurs, victims and their families deserve justice and compensation from all responsible parties.
Losing a family member due to another’s negligence is an unimaginable tragedy no family should have to endure. In addition to the emotional toll this can have on your family, you may have unanswered questions, financial burdens, and the need for justice weighing on you. While legal action can’t undo your loss, filing a wrongful death claim with a lawyer’s help can provide justice and restitution for your family’s current and future damages. At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, we understand the delicate nature of wrongful death claims and are committed to giving your case the care and attention it deserves.
The most severe cases require experienced legal representation focused on long-term implications. These cases demand a thorough assessment of lifetime care needs, future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, and the profound impact on quality of life. Our attorneys work with medical professionals, life care planners, and economists to ensure compensation addresses current and future needs.
Suffering a spinal cord injury can impact your everyday life, making it difficult to reach for your coffee cup, play with your children, or simply stand up and sit down. These life-changing consequences can be even more frustrating when caused by someone else’s negligence. With the support and guidance of a trusted attorney, you don’t have to face these challenges alone. You can focus on recovery and get the help you need to pursue full restitution and justice for your losses. Our personal injury attorneys at Mandelbaum Barrett PC bring decades of spine injury litigation experience to your case.
If you hit your head in an accident, such as a car accident or a slip-and-fall, you may feel fine at first, but the trauma may take a physical, emotional, and financial toll on your life. Traumatic brain injury cases or closed-head injuries are often preventable and may result from someone else’s negligence. If this is the case for you, having a trusted lawyer by your side can help you better understand your rights and legal options to navigate the aftermath of this life-changing injury while focusing on recovery. At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, our experienced attorneys understand traumatic brain injury cases’ profound impact on our clients and their families.
Fire-related incidents can devastate lives in an instant, causing severe burns, smoke inhalation injuries, and property destruction, leaving families struggling to rebuild. When fires result from negligence, faulty products, or unsafe conditions, victims may face overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and permanent disabilities while dealing with the trauma of their experience. These complex cases often involve multiple parties and require a thorough investigation to determine liability.
Explosions can occur without warning, turning ordinary moments into devastating tragedies, forever changing the lives of victims and their families. Whether caused by faulty products, industrial negligence, or unsafe conditions, these catastrophic events often result in severe burns, traumatic brain injury, and other life-altering harm requiring immediate medical attention and long-term care. If you’ve suffered injuries in an explosion due to someone else’s negligence, the trusted personal injury attorneys at Mandelbaum Barrett PC are here to help.
New Jersey follows a strict liability standard for dog bites, meaning owners are generally responsible for injuries their dogs cause, regardless of the animal’s previous behavior or the owner’s knowledge of aggressive tendencies. Our attorneys understand the physical and psychological trauma these attacks can cause and work to secure fair compensation for all resulting damages.
If someone attacked you unprovoked, you were caught in the middle of a bar fight, or a reckless driver hit you, the legal aftermath may involve more than just criminal charges. You may also file a civil assault claim for the medical bills, lost wages, and emotional damages you suffered from your injuries. With the help of the reputable lawyers at Mandelbaum Barrett PC, you can seek justice without the stress of the legal process on your shoulders.
When government agencies, municipalities, or other public entities cause harm through negligence or wrongful conduct, victims often face unique legal challenges and strict procedural requirements. Unlike claims against private parties, lawsuits involving public entities require navigating complex immunity laws, notice requirements, and shortened deadlines, which can bar your claim if not handled properly. For example, a school district may be held responsible if a student is injured due to unsafe conditions or a lack of supervision on school district property.
We take a comprehensive approach to your injury claim, handling every aspect, so you can focus on recovery. Working closely with you, we create a personalized strategy to build a strong claim in the following ways:
Comprehensive Investigation
We begin by conducting the following investigations to establish liability and damages:
Visiting accident scenes and documenting physical evidence
Locating and interviewing witnesses before memories fade
Reviewing police reports, medical records, and other documentation
Consulting with accident reconstruction specialists when necessary
Analyzing applicable laws, regulations, and safety standards
Researching defendants’ prior incidents or safety violations
This diligent approach helps establish clear liability and counters defense attempts to shift blame to the victim or minimize the seriousness of injuries.
Medical and Professional Consultation
We work closely with medical professionals, such as physicians, rehabilitation specialists, vocational consultants, economists, life care planners, and other professionals to strengthen your case. This knowledge helps translate complex medical concepts into understandable explanations for insurance company adjusters, judges, and juries, while ensuring all current and future damages are properly valued.
Strategic Negotiation and Litigation
While many cases settle through negotiation, our experienced attorneys prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Our trial lawyers approach cases in the following ways:
Developing compelling settlement demand packages
Engaging in strategic negotiation with insurance company representatives
Filing well-crafted complaints and motions when litigation becomes necessary
Conducting focused discovery to strengthen our position
Presenting clear, persuasive arguments in court proceedings
Advocating for maximum compensation at every stage
When negotiating with the insurance company, we are prepared to counter their attempts to minimize payouts and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
This thorough preparation gives us negotiating leverage, which often leads to favorable settlements, while ensuring we’re trial-ready when a fair settlement isn’t possible.
Personal injury can impact all aspects of your life, but knowing your injury claim’s value is not always easy. Our knowledgeable lawyers are here to help you understand the maximum compensation you can recover, which may include the following types of damages:
These damages cover direct financial losses from your injury and aim to make you whole again. Common types of economic damages include the following:
Medical expenses, including emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, medication, equipment, and all necessary medical care and medical treatment
Lost wages from missed work during recovery
Reduced earning capacity if injuries prevent return to previous employment
Property damage resulting from the incident
Home modifications or adaptive equipment are needed due to permanent injuries
Transportation costs for medical appointments
In-home care or assistance with daily activities during recovery
These damages require detailed documentation, including bills, invoices, receipts, pay stubs, and tax returns, but are generally more straightforward to calculate than non-economic damages.
These damages address subjective losses significantly impacting the quality of life. They often include the following:
Physical pain and suffering
Emotional distress and mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disfigurement or permanent scarring
Loss of consortium (impact on marital relationship)
Loss of companionship and society
Disability and physical limitations
While these damages lack precise dollar values, they often represent a substantial portion of serious injury compensation and require skilled legal advocacy to secure a fair valuation.
The damages and restitution available in your case can vary depending on the specific facts, circumstances, and severity of your injuries.
In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may be available to punish wrongdoers and deter similar behavior. These damages typically require showing the defendant acted with malice or wanton and willful disregard for safety.
